I am sure that you are aware of my opinions on the laziness and inappropriateness of using dictionary definitions when it comes to examining controversial or vaguely understood ideas. To simply cite current usage (of which there are considerably more than the limited DDs you have cut) is no examination.

As I am sure you are aware of my opinions on the self-rightousness of using self-opined definitions examining controversial or vaguely understood ideas. To simply post uncited usage is an even weaker examination.....at least I make an effort to start from a somewhat common, current and official benchmark.

a) 'Start with' I believe was my phrase in a previous excahnge on this topic.  You sadly feel that is where we can stop - that presumably is because its 'official '.

Yes?   I presume that your opinions are strong too - otherwise why would you spend as much time as me posting here... Cheesy
